This 3 3/4" long by 1 1/4" high pipestone Mountain Lion fetish carving is by Zuni carver Gilbert Lonjose. The Mountain Lion is the North animal on both the hunting and protective prayer wheels and the elder brother of both groups of fetishes. It is carried as a prey fetish when hunting big game such as deer, elk, or buffalo, to ensure a good hunt. The Mountain Lion is also known as the traveler's protector, similar to St Christopher.
